Students at Canfield’s elementary schools, C.H. Campbell Elementary School and Hilltop Elementary School, started celebrating the holiday season early at the annual holiday classroom parties Dec. 21.

On the creative side, the children also made holiday crafts, including clothespin Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer ornaments, foam Santa Claus and snowman on skis ornaments, Christmas tree ornaments out of popsicle sticks and holiday wreaths out of paper plates and bows, which were all sent home with the students to add to their holiday d cor

Many students, teachers, staff and PTO volunteers joined in the early celebration and wore their holiday best, including Santa hats, reindeer antler headbands and holiday-themed clothes and jewelry.
